Strawberry Pop Tarts

Share

These Homemade Strawberry Pop-Tarts are really tasty and your kids will adore them! I often get my kids together in the kitchen to make batches of these pop-tarts. I make the strawberry filling for these tarts by combining strawberry jam, cornstarch and water.

To make the tarts, start by preparing some dough. Roll into a pastry sheet and divide it into 9 equal pieces. Place some strawberry filling in the center of each piece. Place another piece of dough over the top and brush with beaten egg and milk. Gather any remaining scraps of dough and repeat the process to create more tarts. I was able to make 4 additional pop-tarts with the remaining dough. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes and that’s it! 

To make Homemade Strawberry Pop-Tarts, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Strawberry Pop Tarts

1

Make dough

3

Mix 2½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt in the bowl of a food processor. Add 8 tablespoons of butter and 6 tablespoons of shortening and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 6 tablespoons of cold water and pulse just until the dough comes together. Do not over process at this stage.

2

Chill

30

Bring the dough together and cut it in half. Shape each half into a round disc. Wrap the halves tightly with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or overnight.

3

Make filling

2

In a small saucepan, combine 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon cold water and whisk until smooth. Add ¾ cup of strawberry jam and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer for about 2 minutes while stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and leave the mixture to cool until ready to use.

4

Rest dough

10

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and leave to rest for 10-15 minutes.

5

Roll out dough

3

On a lightly floured work surface, roll out one of the dough discs to ⅛-inch thick until you have a rectangle approximately 9 by 12 inches. Cut the rectangle into 9 evenly sized pieces.

6

Brush with egg wash

1

Place the 9 pieces of dough on a parchment lined baking sheet and brush with
beaten egg and milk mixture all over the pastry pieces.

7

Add filling

2

Place 1 tablespoon of the strawberry filling in the center of each pastry piece.

8

Roll out 2nd pastry disc

4

Roll out the second disc of pastry and cut out 9 individual pieces. Prick the dough using a fork. Place each piece of dough over the filling and press down the edges firmly with a fork to seal. Repeat until all pockets are formed.

9

Chill for 30 minutes

30

Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the pop tarts with the remaining egg and milk mixture. Place the baking sheet with the pastries in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

10

Heat the oven

5

Preheat the oven to 350 °F.

11

Bake

30

Bake for 30 minutes until the pop tarts are golden brown.

12

Serve

Serve with a large glass of milk.

Homemade pop tarts are the way to go! Loved everything about this strawberry poptart even drizzled a bit of chocolate syrup on the top.

Audree Savich

If you are too lazy to make the dough from scratch like me then you can just used frozen puffy pastry or pie crust :) thank me later.

Regan Sepulbeda

Topped with some vanilla icecream while hot and it melted, the taste was phenominal and reminded me of a strawberry pie.

Yaretzy Wig

AWESOME!! used rasberry jam cause strawberry is too sweet for me and tossed in some chocolate chips which melted perfectly.

Melinda Heeg

So tasty..add some sprinkles and vanilla icing to the top if you want it to taste like the storebought ones.

Kristina Hartoonian

Used pre-bought dough and only had to cook it for 20 minutes, cuts down the time by a LOT.

Eisley Bismark

The jam exploded and the tarts came out empty..

Macey Babani

A little bit of vanilla extract and cinnamon can go a long way in this.

Austyn Wyeth

Made this for my kids to take to school really happy with it and so are they! this saves us a bunch of money from purchasing already made poptarts with far too much sugar in it than a kid should have in a day.

Analia Trautz

I thought poptarts were harder to make than this but guess not and now im saving bucks by making them at home lmao.

sloanderico

Fig jam is legit the best way to go for this and some icing with pea milk mmm mm!!!

Laylah Etuk

I used bluberry jam for the filling instead of strawberry and made some icing but replaced the water for lemon juice so that the sweetness of the icing wouldnt be overbearing.

Emiliana Borroel

Huge hit with the family they devoured all the tarts hot and drank liliac shandy.

Zahra Daugs

They are kinda chewy but still a light treat to munch on.

Janie Waldherr

Arantza Ammirato

I came here after trying the kuchen bars which are a lot more flavorful if you want something extra sweet but these are good too.
